SCC, thank you for reporting this story. A 3 time DUI driver crashed into Sgt Vargas squad car as he responding to a call in the 8th dist. The offender was trying to eat while he was trying to drive and had open liquor in his vehicle when he collided with Sgt Vargas squad car. Sgt Vargas injuries are severe and he's still in the ICU at Christ Hospital in OakLawn. Felony charges were approved for this illegal immigrant with no license, no insurance. And as you know, Cook County President Tony Preckwinkle will not notify ICE when illegals are released from jail after committing serious offenses. One of our own deserve more than a blurp in the local media outlets. We need all the prayers for a speedy recovery.

Son of a bitch. More every day.

"Sanctuary City."

The way you fix this -- a city gives no cooperation with ICE, it gets NO FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ANYTHING.

But Issssssss oookkkkkkkkk, I have a yob!....... get well soon rudy. Take your time and enjoy your summer... and enjoy watching NATO on TV!

SGT has a concussion, a bleed on the brain, fracture in a bone in his spine, and had to have his face stiched back together. He was moved to ICU-it is going to be a long recovery for him. Hopefully he will be able to come back to work within the year but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. I was worried about the bleeding on the brain, normally you get a hole drilled in your skull to let it drain so excess pressure doesn't build, but was told that wasn't done. God speed, RV.

Sgt Vargas is a former UNITED STATES MARINE! Believe it he will be back. The strength is in his blood. Does anyone think a MARINE wouldn't comeback even stronger in his mind, heart and soul. God speed Rudy! Semper Fidelis.

No doubt about it Sergeant Vargas is a stand up boss. Will defend you and back you. Not afraid to make a command decision. No not all bosses are right all the time but on the street Rudy is a boss I want when the shit hits the fan. And the reason why he is there working out the details with you side by side. Rudy loves the working Police and if your not so much he expects that you just do your job! Fuck no one likes dogs except another ass sniffing dog.
